For the first time, a panel of health experts has released age-based sleep recommendations that adjust durations for infants, and introduce new specifications for adults in their early 20s and those over age 65.

The results, published in Sleep Health: The Official Journal of the National Sleep Foundation, come from the foundation as well as a group of academics in sleep, anatomy, physiology, pediatrics, neurology, gerontology and gynecology.
